Disrupting Disaster:

Pushing the Limits of Innovation

At Disaster Lab, we're creating and implementing visionary technologies that tackle the most pressing issues facing our world today. From natural disasters, pandemics, new energy solutions, pollution and beyond, we're pushing the boundaries of what's possible, and driving the adoption of these game-changing technologies to make the world a better place.From the grant RFP response for climate resilience funds we wrote for the university recently: “Disaster Lab supports the development of innovations which aim to prevent, mitigate, and foster faster recovery from climate-change related disasters in California and beyond — currently  focusing on wildfires, earthquakes, and ocean impacts.”  We focus on those technologies with the potential to significantly improve prevention and response, particularly those with disruptive potential.
